Last week, AVweb asked readers to rate their level of
concern about hypoxia in the cockpit.

20% of you told us hypoxia isn't much of a concern,
because you do the bulk of your flying under 5,000 feet
— but the largest portion of respondents (a full 40%)
acknowledged that you begin to pay attention (and
perhaps even worry?) when you cross the 10,000-foot
threshold.

Another 20% of you maintain your vigilance at all
times, exercising valuable cockpit caution. And
another 8% credit your training with keeping you ready
for any potential problems.

Only 9% of our respondents insisted that they were
"always prepared" for depressurization and potential
hypoxia, and a tiny 3% of those surveyed told us they
pay attention (even at low altitudes) when the heat and
humidity are high.

*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***

There's been a lot of discussion about the ADIZ in
Washington becoming permanent (including
this editorial, appearing today in our "ATIS"
opinion section). We've already asked
how you feel about the possibility; this week, we'd
like to know if any of you are planning to fight the
plans to make the ADIZ permanent.
